Lusthaus has paid $61,000 to the Attorney General's Office, which will be distributed to the investors so that they will receive full restitution. He has also paid $2,000 in costs to the state. In addition, the court order permanently bars Lusthaus from selling or being associated with any company that sells any kind of investment, and from telemarketing any product or service.

"Providing restitution to the injured investors is the paramount concern in this case," Spitzer said.

Spitzer's office continues to investigate Anthony Milano.
